We've compiled some of our customer's most common questions into a little list, pips and all. Of course, if you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch with our specialist R&D team, we'd love to help out.
Are we eligible for R&D tax credits?
If your business is registered as a Limited company in England and Wales, pays corporation tax and puts money into anything that could be classed as research or development for your business, you are eligible for R&D tax credits. Read more

Our year-end accounts aren't due yet. Can I still claim?
You can get R&D tax credits at any point during the financial year, though it speeds up your claim if you have your latest year-end accounts submitted.
We've already submitted for R&D tax credits. Can you still help me?
Absolutely. Even if you have already submitted, our industry-leading expertise means we can revisit your case and squeeze even more money back for your business. Our team has uncovered up to 25% additional claims values for our clients (with an average of +10%)
We have made a claim in the last 12 months. Can I do another one?
Yes. As long as your case is legitimate, there is no restraint on how many times you put in for an R&D tax credit claim in a year. Our team can help determine the veracity of your claim.
My company has made a loss, can I claim?
One of the major benefits of the HMRC scheme is that it allows businesses in states of both profit and loss to submit claims. Indeed, many businesses in a loss-making position do so primarily because of their proactive expenditure on R&D.
Do we get penalised the following year for the additional income?
You are not penalised the following year if you receive R&D tax credits. The money is yours to spend on the business as you see fit.
If we receive a refund, is this classed as taxable income?
As any money you receive is classed as a tax credit or relief, the money itself is not taxable or classed as income. Only claims made under the RDEC scheme for large organisations have the proceeds of their claim taxed.
I don't think we have spent anything on R&D. Is there an alternative?
That's where we come in. You might think you haven't spent anything on R&D, but the chances are you have. The list of what is eligible is massive. Check it out
here.

How will our claim be paid?
Depending upon the particulars of your case, your claim can be paid as a cash rebate directly into your bank account or as a deduction from your corporation tax liability. Don't worry, your specialist consultant will explain all the options very clearly as your case progresses.
